Lion Days

The lion visited me again today.

I asked him:

“Lion what do you do”

“I hunt to eat”

“And then?” I asked

“I sleep,” he told me.

I asked him:

“What do you do when you are neither hungry not sleep”

“I will lay down in the maidan and bask in the sun,” he said.

“What would you do if it is raining and there is no sun?” I asked.

“I will get out of the rain,” he told me.

“And if there is no where to go to escape?”

“I feel the rain as I do the sun.”
